Eastern Tropical Pacific: High Seas

Right now, just exploring the regions and data we will want to include.

Next steps:

1. Add some text…how much methods and such should I add
2. Add a few figures showing relative contributions of impacts, etc.

Questions:

1. What do I call this project and this region?
2. Mollweide ok?
3. For impacts, color ramping varies for each category (climate change, shipping, fishing), does this seem ok?
4. Fishing is impossible to see any variation. Should I log? Is the point to see internal variation? Or is the point to show that fishing isn’t a big pressure in this particular region?
5. Are these the main maps we want?
